Williamson County Animal Center Teams with Darrell Waltrip Subaru for Sponsored Adoptions and Free Rabies Vaccinations 

Thanks to support from Darrell Waltrip Subaru, ASPCA and Friends of WCAC, the month of October is known as “Pawctober” at Williamson County Animal Center (WCAC). Each year the Franklin-based auto dealer and national animal welfare organization collaborate to fund activities that raise awareness, promote pet adoptions and encourage veterinary care.

“Supporting ASPCA and Friends of WCAC means so much to me and my team because every animal deserves safety, care, and love,” said Darrell Waltrip Subaru General Manager, Jimmy Harris. “I’m grateful for the incredible work these organizations do that gives animals a second chance and brings hope to our communities.”

Throughout the month, approved adopters draw to win a free adoption during checkout. Normal rates apply to those who do not win: $50 per kitten, adult cat and adult dog, $85 per puppy. Moreover, folks are able to have their pets vaccinated against rabies and microchipped at no cost during WCAC’s monthly clinic on Saturday, October 25 from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at the shelter, a $10 and $15 value, respectively. Pre- registration for the clinic is available on the animal center’s website and encouraged.

Six-year old Martha is a friendly girl with a happy spirit who can be a little shy at first.  Once she feels comfortable, however, her personality shines.  Martha plays well with other dogs in playgroup, showing respectful and appropriate behavior.  She is learning basic commands and how to walk on a leash.  Martha is full of joy and ready to find her family.  Visit WCAC to meet Martha and all her furry friends available to adopt.

Director, Ondrea Johnson said that such support gives WCAC opportunities to do things beyond their typical shelter offerings. “Life is better for the animals and people living in Williamson County because of Subaru and ASPCA,” according to Johnson. “We are able to engage community members and care for animals in ways that are only possible because of their generosity.”

WCAC is open to the public Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.; Saturday 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.; and closed Sundays. Hours may vary due to holidays. The center is located at 1006 Grigsby Hayes Court in Franklin.
